Many values adjusted by Kimbrel trade

The big baseball story Sunday night was supposed to be the St. Louis Cardinals and Chicago Cubs opening the 2015 season, and yes, this still will happen. In addition to that important development, however, the Atlanta Braves decided it was the perfect time -- and really, it is -- to trade the best closer in baseball to the obviously all-in San Diego Padres, creating a mini firestorm in the fantasy baseball world. Oh, don’t you worry, Craig Kimbrel owners, the right-hander was going to pile on the saves and strikeouts for the Braves, and now he’ll do it for the Padres. Nothing really changes with him.

However, for all those who owned Padres right-hander Joaquin Benoit -- he's 100 percent owned in ESPN standard leagues -- we have some bad news for you: He’s no longer a closer.
